GET MESSY | SEASON OF LOVE | 2

Friday, 20 February 2015

The season of love continues in the get messy programme and this week my pages are based around who/what love.. with a healthy dose of sewing involved!

Pretty impressed with my anatomical heart for this LOVE page. I also really enjoy the cute cupcakes mixed in with the expressive and kinda gory heart veins.. this kind of clashing and macabre spirit is what I live for!

I made a '100 loves' list in my small pocket sketchbook which I carried around with me at the beginning of this week and filled in when inspiration hit. I then scanned this in, added a dotted pattern to it and proceeded to spend 40 minutes of my life drawing stripes around it (loving every minute)

Almost all of my imagery for these pages came from my collection which dates back to around 2004 (!) The image below is from an interview for the film paper heart (it has awful reviews but I adored it when I was a student) although I dont remeber Nick from new girl being in it ?! The napkin on the right hand side I have kept for so long I dont even know it's origins but I'm sure I kept it for the penguin ;) I used inks on the next page and it soaked through the napkin. This gives a lovely organic feel to the page which helps out the PAPER HEART shouty text!

Julia - I love the way you displayed your hundred things list, and that you have old-school Nick Miller in your journal!! Also, gold star for the anatomical heart! Seriously - all of these pages are fantastic!
